Totoka River Now I'm on the outside

For the second time, but the first intentional time, Wildfire declined his invitation. Blurryface pulled a bit of a face and said, "arrr, ye be no fun, wench," although it was really disappointment that he couldn't present a gift of a wench to Ferahgo. No doubt the captain would appreciate it, but Wildfire was either too sensible or too intuitive to let him take the opportunity. Even the wily coywolf knew when to give up.

"Me ship be tha' way," he said with a sharp gesture toward the silhouetted island, "an' inland be that way," and he jabbed his snout at the wilds over Wildfire's shoulder. "Ain't no pirate know nothin' 'bout inland, wench, ye be on yer own." It was as true as he could tell it, too. He simply knew nothing about the lands that way, and was only vaguely familiar with this stretch of beach. If Wildfire didn't want to accompany him to the ship and into Ferahgo's hold of wenches, then he couldn't do much to help her find her way.
